This makes your entire collection of searches available to Quicksilver as well and will save you a lot of work: With the following short snippet of XSLT, you can convert your LaunchBar Search Templates to an AcidSearch compatible `plist that can be imported.

Luckily again, AcidSearch can import plists in some well defined formats as well. Luckily, these queries are stored in ist in the ~/Library/Application Support/LaunchBar 4/ folder. Of course, this whole thing has a drawback: AcidSearch knows nothing about the LaunchBar Search templates and entering all by hand can quickly become an annoying task. It might sound complicated but it’s a lot faster than activating Safari, selecting the Search box by any means and then entering that query – especially if Safari’s not launched yet. Hit -Space, followed by Goo, hit Space again and type your query, followed by Enter and you’ll get Googles results. But the better part of this is, that someone programmed a that takes these AcidSearches and makes them available in Quicksilver as well: This alone is just great, I was always a little bit envious towards Firefox for their choice of search engines in the Search box. In other words: You’re not limited to a “Google Search” in Safaris Search field anymore. It adds unlimited “Search Channels” to the Google search field. In the words of its developer: > is a search enhancement for Safari. , on the other hand, does not do that natively – but fortunately, there’s a great solution to that problem. One of the features I love about is it’s Search Templates: They allow you to define query templates for Search Engines, Amazon, Dictionaries … whatever service that takes the search arguments as a GET request.
